Hi, is there a SIMPLE (Jargon free) step by step guide of what to do to get back from version 4.3e to whatever it was prior?

I dont use the Wii & dont have much of a technical mind, other than knowing that that my kids chipped Wii no longer plays non original games. Thanks

Is this not the guide you are posting in? looks like it to me.

That's what this guide is for. Did you not read?

Quote:

4.3 wii- follow this method

4.3 wii- follow this method

Step 1 Launch Hackmii Installer
Launching the Hackmii installer will automatically install bootmii ios, which we will use to downgrade your 4.3 wii, back to 4.1- restoring region free function to your modchip. You do not have to install the HBC, but it is optional if you would like to.Below you will find many methods for loading the hackmii installer. Choose the method compatible with your wii.

When the game loads, you will be in Barnett College. Walk to the Art Room (through the Courtyard), approach the left character on the podium. When it zooms on him, choose the switch to option (two silhouettes, staggered, with an arrow pointing between them).

-Hackmii Installer Loads

Option 2- Smash Stack - Works with 4.3u/j-Load SSBB ntsc, with sd-card removed, make a save file if asked
-Go to the stage builder, delete all custom stages found, exit the stage builder
-Exit all the way back to the main SSBB menu
-Insert SD-CARD, Go back to the stage builder-HackMii Installer loads
Jap NTSC-J wiis, use this file- Hackmii_0.8-SS-J.zip

-Play YU-GI-OH 5D Wheelie Breaker, make a savegame
-Go to Wii settings -> Data Management -> Savegames -> Wii
-Delete the Yu-Gi-Oh savegame
-Go to the Sd-card menu
-Copy the YU-GI-OH5D exploit to the wii
-Run the game YU-GI-OH 5D Wheelie Breaker and load the savegame file ...
-Hackmii installer 0.8 loadsRead the Scam warning and press 1
It may take a minute or two for the "press 1" to appear- be patient
A report wiil be displayed, you can read it and continue
Now exit the installer

Step 2 Downgrade to 4.1The 4.3 to 4.1 downgrade will first install a cios236 which will be used to replace the stubbed system ios60 and ios70 with functional versions, install system menu 4.1 for your region, and optionally allow your to install priiloader.

Run the disc exploit again (just like you did with hackmii).
Just run Indiana PWNS or Smash Stack or YU-GI-OHThis time the disc exploit will load Multi-Mod Manager
Select "Wad Manager" -press A
You will see 4 wads listed
Press 1, install all wads- Press A
4 wads should install without error
You have now downgraded your wii to 4.1 (safely)

Optional, but recommended- Install priiloader (never update again)
Press 2 -load the App Manager
Select Priiloader
Read the warning- Press A to install
This will install Priiloader, which could freeze during restart. Hold the power button down until the wii turns off, then hold reset, keep holding reset, power on the wii, keep holding reset, priiloader will load.
Select system menu hacks, enable block disc and online updates.
Done.

This is easy to follow I dont understand why you cant see those instructions as being clear.

All you are doing is launching dopmii via bannerbomb or game exploit on 4.3 so there is no need to install HB.--->Installing a fakesigned ios36--->Then installing your system menu ios which in this case for 4.1 is ios 60 and then installing 4.1 system menu.

Even if you wanted to install HB you would have to use BB to launch the hackmii installer.
Simple as that.. This guide is for hard mods and the HB channel isnt a necessary.

Hi, for a non-technical minded person such as myself, I have no idea really how to follow this guide, esp with the jargon/abbreviations eg IOS, HB, BB etc etc - its only easy for you & other likeminded folk, but there are those of us that dont have a clue, dont know where to find someone to do it for us, so google brings us here.

If things aren't clear then I suggest that you don't do anything to your wii then.
The forum is here to help and it has tons of useful guides faqs that people can follow.

it only work on (hard modded) wii?
what about (soft modded) Wii,it will work on that?

i wish if that will work on my wii :D

A few more questions on that point...

1) Is this worth doing if you're menu is 4.3, but you do not have a hardmod on? In other words, does 4.3 and 4.2 also destroy region-free playback for softmodders?

2) Once you have 4.1 up and running again, does this also remove HackMii + HBC that was installed in the first place? If so, what would you recommend doing to softmod your "new" 4.1 version?

2) Once you have 4.1 up and running again, does this also remove HackMii + HBC that was installed in the first place? If so, what would you recommend doing to softmod your "new" 4.1 version? Yes HBC will still be there.

Thanks for the quick reply. Can I ask you to elaborate a bit on this?

Scenario: I have a virgin Wii, no mods, 4.3 and I have all the tools necessary for Indiana Pwnz. I haven't done it yet, and I'm wondering if it's necessary for me to go back to 4.1 to get back a region-free playability thing. To phrase it another way, Is it only a concern for hardmodders?

Yes, its mostly for hardmodders. But if you downgrade to 4.1 yu can also launch the bannerbomb exploit.
